Indeed, first-time viewers might be under the impression that they are looking at landscape paintings, but in reality they are witnessing Schnell’s obsessive treatment of space—something he frequently intensifies by painting in large formats that seem to engulf the viewer. Equally striking is Schnell’s compelling use of linear perspective and the vanishing point to create pictorial order. However, this order is often counteracted by the artist’s almost subliminal desire for action. These conflicting elements of order and explosion give the paintings an extraordinary energy and dynamism that never leave the viewer's eye or mind at rest. The landscape in Schnell’s works provides a framework against which he explores his thoughts, ideas and artistic concerns.\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 14pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-GB style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans-Plain; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB\"\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/P\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-GB style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans-Plain; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB\"\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 14pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-GB style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans-Plain; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB\"\u003eExhibition schedule: Parasol unit foundation for contemporary art, London, June 21–July 29, 2006\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44874911449352,"sku":"9783775718684","price":29.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775718684_61f43fc8-bd77-4b13-9c68-8bac4f2668c6.jpg?v=1744054177","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/15655-david-schnell","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
